Build a Cardboard Town to Keep Kids Occupied

Speaking of happy trash, as I was the other day, there is nothing better than giving a kid a pile of stuff and seeing what they do with it.

If yours needs a little more guidance, give them some cardboard and ask them to build a town, like this one from Mini Mad Things.

You can make buildings, trees, roads and more all out of cardboard, but it’s fun to throw in other objects, too, like egg cartons, cleaned out milk containers, yogurt tubs and whatever else you have lying around.
